Description
Mountain Bear watch strap – nubuck leather from Italy
With the Mountain Bear, we focus on pure materials, honest craftsmanship, and tangible quality.
We craft this strap from fine nubuck leather from a select Italian tannery—a leather that impresses with its velvety-soft surface, warm feel, and natural depth. Each piece showcases the vibrant texture of the leather and develops a unique patina over time, exuding character and authenticity.
The Mountain Bear is available in green, brown, light brown, and black —colors that perfectly complement modern, classic, and vintage watches. The matte finish emphasizes the natural style and lends each watch a calm, powerful presence.
We craft the Mountain Bear with seamless, multi-sealed tone-on-tone edges and a fine tone-on-tone seam —precisely crafted, unobtrusive, and stylistically clean. Integrated fiberglass reinforcement and double-stitched bartack stitches ensure stability, shape retention, and a long service life—even with daily wear.

Explanation of spring bar selection
Spring bars are small, spring-loaded metal pins used to securely attach watch straps to watch cases. They allow the strap to be attached to the watch.
The (⌀1.8mm) is the diameter of the spring bar.
Most of the time, the old strap still has a normal spring bar in it. If it is intact, you can replace it.
If not, we offer three types of spring bars that are already integrated into your strap!
Quick-change spring bar: especially recommended if you want to change the strap on your watch very frequently and do not have a spring bar tool.
Normal spring bar: recommended for you if you have a spring bar tool at home.
Curved spring bar: is particularly important for watches where the lug is close to the watch case. This is often the case with new Rolex models. With a curved spring bar, you minimize the likelihood of your strap being damaged at the lug.

Are the leather bracelets allergy-friendly
Our bracelets are made of natural materials that are generally well tolerated. The insides are often made of hypoallergenic vegetable tanned leather.
What kind of leather are the bracelets made of?
Our bracelets are made from the highest quality leather hides and come from the most renowned tanneries worldwide. We name most of them by name, but this is not always possible for fear of imitators.
How long does a leather strap last?
The lifespan of a leather bracelet depends on use and care. If well cared for, a bracelet can last for several years, but will show natural signs of wear after a while with daily wear.
